Here she comes - the great Leveller
King and serfs bow before her
If you feel her eyes on you - run
She'll come and put her arms around you
You lie and say she hasn't found you
You'll run to her she's there to greet you
Are you lost to us forever
Tied in lust strapped in leather
Is the cost way beyond you
Do you love her more than you love yourself

Is it just too real
Cold clear for you to feel
Is it just too real
Cold clear for you to feel

Am I far in the distance
Am I the cure or a symptom
Should I go when you tell me to
Can you tell I've never loved her
Because my life is for another
Who's up and down
But will take me there
I don't claim to understand her
But hand in hand I am with her
Bright and clear and with a future
You can come and join us if you dare
I sing - But you can't speak
I laugh - But you can't smile
l love - But you lie low
Got to let her go .....
I look - You don't see
I talk - You don't hear
I walk then you will crawl low
You've got to let her go

He thought he was as drunk as can be
New white skinny rebel was he
Because he knew what mattered
It's all in a clatter of the bands he'd seen
His words of wisdom would shock
Weather he meant them or not
He'd save the world
All the boys and the girls
But another single's all he'd be

Chorus (2x)
That's sad
That's right
Another night
Of someone else's fantasy

He thought he was cool with his tunes
He practiced the nack in his room
And in the evenings he'd d.j.
With the slider at plus eight
Believing that at his feet we swoon
Now he is always there in the queue
While down on the dance floor it's you
And when he starts playing
He is up there playing
You don't notice these are not his tunes

Chorus (4x)

He thought he could measure the world
Because he loved the flag when unfurled
First he's a lawyer excellent debater
You should have heard the mud he hurled
Now you've seen his face on t.v.
Leading parliamentary
When he makes decisions
That meet your derision
He reminds us all that we're free
 
It's warm by the river, the weir keeps us cleen
The woodsmoke and cigarettes are all that we need
Marking the dirt with twigs and simple words spoke
Kicking the dust so we can just

Dance the dance that plays with fire
Play guitar and play inspired
You said you would leave not ever
Underneath the sky forever

It's cool by the sea when the pavement is hot
We take a walk down there to see what we've got
An old man collecting fifty beautiful words
Cleaning the beach so that he can teach us to

Dance the dance that plays with fire
Play guitar and play inspired
You said you would leave not ever
Underneath the sky forever

It's cool by the pane glass on the high street we played
But there's always a penny in the music we made
So far from home, with no means of return
Burning the bridge, so we always

Dance the dance that plays with fire
Play guitar and play inspired
You said you would leave not ever
Underneath the sky forever

We're so far from home
No need to return
There's so much that we have though
And so much we have learned
 
Mickey Mouse is dead
Got kicked in the head
Cause people got too serious
They planned out what they said
They couldn't take the fantasy
They tried to accept reality
Analyzed the laughs
Cause pleasure comes in halves
The purity of comedy
They had to take it seriously
Changed the words around
Tried to make it look profound
The comedian is on stage
Pisstaking for a wage
The critics think he's great
But the laughter turns to hate
Mickey Mouse is on T.V.
And the kids stare at the screen
But the pictures are all black and white
And the words don't mean a thing
Cause Mummy's got no money
And Daddy is in jail
He couldn't afford the license
She couldn't afford the bail
The kids out in the road
Their minds have all gone cold
Cause Mickey Mouse is dead
They shot him through the head
With ignorance and scorn
They believed in something new
They read the papers watched the films
And they thought they new the truth
But reality deceives
Whatever you believe
There's always another idea
And theirs is based on fear
The fear of being sussed
For what you really are
The fear of being laughed at
When you go too far
They call it paranoia
You can laugh it away
Until you come to realize
That everyone's the same
People hide their problems
Under faces of contempt
They hide them 'til it kills them
And no one is exempt
Not even you
Look what you done to Mickey Mouse
 
mouse lived in a windmill in old Amsterdam
A windmill with a mouse in and he wasn't grousin'
He sang every morning, "How lucky I am,
Living in a windmill in old Amsterdam!"

I saw a mouse!
Where?
There on the stair!
Where on the stair?
Right there!
A little mouse with clogs on
Well I declare!
Going clip-clippety-clop on the stairs
Oh yeah

This mouse he got lonesome, he took him a wife
A windmill with mice in, it's hardly surprisin'
She sang every morning, "How lucky I am,
Living in a windmill in old Amsterdam!"

I saw a mouse!
Where?
There on the stair!
Where on the stair?
Right there!
A little mouse with clogs on
Well I declare!
Going clip-clippety-clop on the stair
Oh yeah

First they had triplets and then they had quins
A windmill with quins in, and triplets and twins in
They sang every morning, "How lucky we are
Living in a windmill in Amsterdam, ya!"

I saw a mouse!
Where?
There on the stair!
Where on the stair?
Right there!
A little mouse with clogs on
Well I declare!
Going clip-clippety-clop on the stair
Oh yeah

A mouse lived in a windmill, so snug and so nice
There's nobody there now but a whole lot of mice.
 
K k lash ya rasclat neck off
I'll split you in half like a gun blast from Lennox
Hotter then flammable rocks
From the manor when man are animal yammin you like fox
Experts slosh we specialize in handlin' kop
With man's hatchin' and plannin' plots lookin' to jam in ya spot
But their stamina's not up to par get ripped apart like red rizzla tarars, rasclat
This Terra Firm dargart state of the art
But tell them jankrows to stay in they yard
Or get stabbed with a stake to the heart
I'm tryna walk a straight path but you dun say it's hard
Sick thoughts are flingin' on mask
N killin' ya clark
Keep runnin' thru the back of my head like old dance steps
Get dropped on ya doorstep like dando
Many men ran prang cuz my nine flows better than Taliban still ban shows
Spit flows over bhangra spit so cold make you shok out like it was soka
Terra Firm take over take you thru the mind state of a tortured soldier
Who tells tales of unspeakable horror with lyrics lethal like bora
Leave you leakin' on the floor star
That's y I don't watch no talk
I read auras and books written by forbidden government authors
Infiltrate ya borders like ITN reporters
Then return with the slaughter
Captured on camcorder I'm trapped in a damn corner chattin' to Pandora
Bout boxin' a man for her
But she don't no Klashnekoff
That black cunt from out of stokey
Banana boat mango munchin' monkey kick off ya door like jumanji
Dash you off the 28th floor like it was bungee, I want the blood cleaned

[Klashnekoff]
I'm not ready to die but ever ready for bury a guy
They're not ready for I
I can see the fear in they eye
Scared of the rhymes that ricochet and tear them inside
N fear for they lives
Prepare and try to stare in they eyes
Wife cry bucket of tears
When the brare get iced but that's life
Its all lies write rhythms like a dive spit cyanide saliv'
N blind they left eye
Subliminal crime snipe you in the back of ya mind
With killer quotes and one lines that cuts throats like knives
Baffle da vibes come fathom how the fuck did he die
With tux and a tie with 21 bucks to the sky
Askin' me y a brethren is deeper then I
This piece by my side lookin' to eat a piece of the pie
So come in peace or draw for ya piece or please reach for the sky
My ether is 9 like 9 millimetres times 9 millimetres times 9 millimetres from ya spine
So take time my rhymes take life like tek 9's
And we take y from guys who flex their chest size

[Klashnekoff]
Batter the spanner banner with a black bandana
Darren d the dan dappa wrap the trees like strappa
Stab the beat with a dagger the hackney hack attacker
shabby like shabba shabba like shaggy verse oshuka
In the six sick cities situation get butters
Man switch like burukas
Come swingin' like McGuigan with a barrage of punches
The spit boxin' champion who spark man unconscious
And knock out they dentures
See the drugs don't work they jus make you worst
Man smoke a little merch and feel say he cant get hurt that absurd
He get sliced and served like hors d'oeuvres
Bury six feet deep like sword in the dirt
Where you frauds shot work from the back of ya mercs
I reverse the hearse stick 'em in the back of the boot
And baffle you fools you cunts cant ackle this yoot
Or tackle my cru get beaten till ya blacker then blue
While I'm strappin' a zoot you on the floor catchin' a boot
Lookin' to catch a bag blood but that's a catch 22
And you done know da crew
 
Hey whatcha know
Outside of the beastie boys show
Saw a phat kid that tried to kick it late
He said by the way where ya been
Are you still wit that boyfriend
I said no way and you look great
Wanna hook up but i thought again

Meet him on the train one day
When I was wrapped in pain
He said I love you
And always that I will i heard
And before I got his name I thought it might be ok
To use for service to take some pain away

All them guys that talk around town
Girls like me wanna keep it down
Don't be fresh with all your clothes
Pop that girl if anything goes
Yeah beat boys want all the fame
Girls get hurt when you play that game
You weren't concerned in how I feel
No thank you i'd rather chill

Hey whats the deal
I'll let you know if things get ill
Can't hook up if you call the shots me
But ya got things that i'd like to see
Soft porn doesnt do it for me
I don't like sex and drugs wit me
I don't like sex and drugs wit me

And one day on the train
I'd never leave me man stray
I don't deserve this
Your always there i never heard
But instead of bein scared
His words just went straight to me head
And I got nervous and left my love away

All them guys that talk around town
Girls like me wanna keep it down
Dope beat fresh with all your clothes
Pop that girl if anything goes
Yeah beat boys want all the fame
Girls get hurt when you play that game
You weren't concerned in how I feel
No thank you i'd rather chill
All them guys that talk around town
Girls like me wanna keep it down
Dope beat fresh fresh with all your clothes
Pop that girl if anything goes
Yeah beat boys want all the fame
Girls get hurt when you play that game
You weren't concerned in how I feel
No thank you i'd rather chill
 
hey!

come into the union district
drive down on sharmon palms
white ghettos paint a picture
broken homes and broken bones

i was so full of scotch i could not stand up
i was hitting the shots and i moved to a cup
release me from moral assumption
total rejection total destruction
nihilistic feelings are moving
if you try real hard you'll see right through them

nihilism!

come into the union district
drive down on sharmon palms
white ghettos paint a picture
broken homes and broken bones

walking a path of self destruction
not affected by the repercussions
lady on the billboard offer me a drink
said not right now i need time to think
nihilistic feelings are moving
if i try real hard i'll see right through them

nihilism!

i was so full of scotch i could not stand up
i was hitting the shots and i moved to a cup
come into the union district
drive down on sharmon palms
white ghettos paint a picture
broken homes and broken bones
yeah...
broken bones!

hey!
 
Please could you stop that noise, I'm trying to get some rest
From all the unborn chicken voices in my head
What's there? (I may be paranoid, but not an android)
What's there? (I may be paranoid, but not an android)

When I am king, you will be first against the wall
With your opinion which is of no consequence at all
What's there? (I may be paranoid, but no android)
What's there? (I may be paranoid, but no android)


Ambition makes you look pretty ugly
Kicking, screaming Gucci little piggy

You don't remember
You don't remember
Why don't you remember my name?
Off with his head, man
Off with his head, man
Why don't you remember my name?
I guess he does


Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me
From a great height
From a great height
Height
Rain down, rain down
Come on rain down on me
From a great height
From a great height
Height

That's it sir, you're leaving (Rain down)
The crackle of pigskin (Rain down)
The dust and the screaming (Come on rain down)
The yuppies networking (On me)
The panic, the vomit (From a great height)
The panic, the vomit (From a great height)
God loves his children
God loves his children, yeah
 
Be still for a second while I try and try to pin your flowers on la la la la
Can you carry my drink I have everything else
I can tie my tie all by myself
I’m getting tied, I’m forgetting why

Oh we’re so disarming darling, everything we did believe
is diving diving diving diving off the balcony
Tired and wired we ruin too easy
sleep in our clothes and wait for winter to leave

Hold ourselves together with our arms around the stereo for hours, la la la la
While it sings to itself or whatever it does
when it sings to itself of its long lost loves
I’m getting tied, I’m forgetting why

Tired and wired we ruin too easy
sleep in our clothes and wait for winter to leave
but I’ll be with you behind the couch when they come
on a different day just like this one

We’ll stay inside til somebody finds us
do whatever the TV tells us
stay inside our rosy-minded fuzz for days
We’ll stay inside til somebody finds us
do whatever the TV tells us
stay inside our rosy-minded fuzz

so worry not
all things are well
we’ll be alright
we have our looks and perfume

stay inside til somebody finds us
do whatever the TV tells us
stay inside our rosy-minded fuzz

so worry not
all things are well
we’ll be alright
we have our looks and perfume on
 
Kelis - Millionaire Lyrics


(feat. Andre 3000)
[Andre 3000:]
I said her from the city so her got to witty, witty
She said him from the country so him got to be funky, funky

[Andre 3000:]
Mama i'ma Millionaire but I feel like a bum.
Mama i'ma Millionaire but I feel like the only one.
I,I,I,I woke up early this mornin,
I don't think ya'll heard me,
I woke up early this mornin,
I don't think ya'll heard me,
I woke up early this mornin.
I don't think think ya'll heard me,
I woke up early this mornin, but i still ain't seen the sun.

[Andre 3000 & Kelis:]
[Repeat 4x]
OhohOhohOhoh

[Kelis:]
Papa i'ma Milionaire,
But sex and abs don't sale affection
{Sex and abs don't sale affection}.
Papa i'ma Millionaire but i ain't movin in the right direction,
Somethin ain't right, I know.
[Repeat 4x]
I am rich, to he is rich, she is rich, to we is rich

[Andre 3000 (Rap):]
Where there is cheese there are rats,
Wherever are rats there are cats,
Wherever there are cats there are dogs.
If you got the dogs you got bitches.
Bitches Always out to put their paws on your riches.
If you got riches,you got glitches.
If you got glitches in your life computer turn it off and then reboota.
Now you back on.
Can't just put the cap on the old bottle once you pop it that will spoil it, gone and drink it and enjoy it.
Mama I'ma Millionaire.

[Kelis:]
What's a girl to do when she just has dimes no time just play-yay-yay-yay.
What's a girl to do instead of me it's you'll be true-woo-woo-woo.
What's a girl to do in a world of greed but kneel and pray-yay-yay-yay.
What's a girl to do when she's lost her long time friends that's lie-ie-ie-ie-ied
 
Aw yeah, what's up out there? BC's in the house. Right
about now, I wanna tell you a little love story, you know
what I'm sayin', this is a Body Count love story check out
the lyrics, you know, I'm a tell you 'bout what happened
when we went down South last year on tour.

Out on tour yo, I been all around the world
went to Georgia, met this fine-assed white girl,
blonde hair, blue eyes, big tits and thighs,
the kinda girl that would knock out most guys.
She got wild in the backstage bathroom,
sucked my dick like a muthafuckin' vacuum,
said "I love you, but my daddy don't play,
he's the fuckin' grand wizard of the KKK."

I I I love my KKK bitch, love it when she sucks me though,
I I I love my KKK bitch, love it when she fucks me though,
I I I love my KKK bitch, she loves it when I treat her bad,
I I I love my KKK bitch, mutha fuck her dear old dad.

You know what I'm sayin'. So we was down South fallin' in
love, you know, D-Roc had this Nazi girl, my man
Mooseman had a skinhead, I fell in love with Tipper Gore's
two twelve year old nieces. It was wild, you know what I'm
sayin', it got even worse, you know.

So one night they took us to a meetin'
white sheets, white hoods, no room for seatin'
there was Skinheads, Nazi's and crazies,
talkin' 'bout black people pushin' up daisies.
They hated Blacks, Jews, Puerto Ricans,
Mexicans, Chinese, even the Indians.
We had our hoods on,
we were slick
she pushed her butt up hard against my dick.
Then her daddy jumped on the stage
talkin' 'bout killin' in a goddamn rage.
I got mad, my dick got hard
entered in her ass
she said, "Oh my God!"

I I I love my KKK bitch, love it when she fucks me though,
I I I love my KKK bitch, love it when she sucks me though,
I I I love my KKK bitch, she loves it when I treat her bad,
I I I love my KKK bitch, mutha fuck her dear old dad.

So what we really tryin' to say is Body Count loves
everybody. We love Mexican girls, Black girls, Oriental girls,
it really don't matter. If you from Mars, and you got a pussy,
we will fuck you. You know, that's all we're sayin', word.

So every year when Body Count comes around
we throw an orgy in every little Southern town.
KKK's, Skinheads, and Nazi
girls break their necks
to get to the party.
It ain't like their men can't nut,
their dick's too little
and they just can't fuck.
So we get buck wild with the white freaks
we show them how to really work the white sheets.
I know her daddy'll really be after me,
when his grandson's named little Ice-T.

I I I love my KKK bitch, love it when she fucks me though,
I I I love my KKK bitch, love it when she sucks me though,
I I I love my KKK bitch, she loves it when I treat her bad,
I I I love my KKK bitch, mutha fuck her dear old dad.
 
B.F.P.O.*
Army dreamers.
Mammy's hero.
B.F.P.O.
Mammy's hero.
Our little army boy
Is coming home from B.F.P.O.
I've a bunch of purple flowers
To decorate a mammy's hero.
Mourning in the aerodrome,
The weather warmer, he is colder.
Four men in uniform
To carry home my little soldier.
What could he do?
Should have been a rock star.
But he didn't have the money for a guitar.
What could he do?
Should have been a politician.
But he never had a proper education.
What could he do?
Should have been a father.
But he never even made it to his twenties.
What a waste --
Army dreamers.
Ooh, what a waste of
Army dreamers.
Tears o'er a tin box.
Oh, Jesus Christ, he wasn't to know,
Like a chicken with a fox,
He couldn't win the war with ego.
Give the kid the pick of pips,
And give him all your stripes and ribbons.
Now he's sitting in his hole,
He might as well have buttons and bows.
What could he do?
Should have been a rock star.
But he didn't have the money for a guitar.
What could he do?
Should have been a politician.
But he never had a proper education.
What could he do?
Should have been a father.
But he never even made it to his twenties.
What a waste --
Army dreamers.
Ooh, what a waste of
Army dreamers.
Ooh, what a waste of all that
Army dreamers,
Army dreamers,
Army dreamers, oh...
(B.F.P.O.)
Did-n-did-n-did-n-dum...
Army dreamers.
Did-n-did-n-did-n-dum...
(Mammy's hero.)
(B.F.P.O.)
Army Dreamers.
(Mammy's hero.)
(B.F.P.O.)
No harm heroes.
(Mammy's hero.)
(B.F.P.O.)
Army dreamers.
(Mammy's hero.)
(B.F.P.O.)
No harm heroes.
 
Down down, you bring me down
I hear you knocking at my door and I can't sleep at night
Your face, it has no place
No room for you inside my house I need to be alone

Don't waste your words I don't need anything from you
I don't care where you've been or what you plan to do

Turn turn, I wish you'd learn
There's a time and place for everything I've got to get it through
Cut loose, you're no use
I couldn't stand another second in your company

Don't waste your words I don't need anything from you
I don't care where you've been or what you plan to do

Stone me, why can't you see
You're a no-one nowhere washed up baby who'd look better dead

Your tongue is far too long
I don't like the way it sucks and slurps upon my every word

Don't waste your words I don't need anything from you
I don't care where you've been or what you plan to do

I am the resurrection and I am the light
I couldn't ever bring myself to hate you as I'd like

I am the resurrection and I am the light
I couldn't ever bring myself to hate you as I'd like
 
Woke up and for the first time
The Animals were gone
It's left this house empty now
Not sure if I belong
Yesterday you asked me
To write you a pleasant song
I'll do my best now
But you've been gone for so long
The window's open now
And the winter settles in
We'll call it Christmas
When the adverts begin
I love your depression
And I love your double chin
I love most Everything
You bring to this offering

I know that I've left you
In places of Despair
I know that I've loved you
So please thrown down your hair

At night I dream without you
And hope that I don't wake up
Cos waking up without you
Is like drinking from an empty cup

Woke up and for the first time
The animals were gone
Our clocks are ticking now
So before our time is gone
We can get a house
And some boxers and on the lawn
We can make babies and accidental songs

I know I've been a liar
and I know I've been a fool
I hope we didn't break it
But I'm Glad we broke the rules
My cave is deep now
Yet your light is shinning through
I cover my eyes
Still all I see is you
 
Missionaries up from the South
Have come to put words in our ignorant mouths
Big company muscles flex
And we're all pulled along by the seat of our kecks
Popstars to lead us to the promised land
Same rich bastards in command
All responsibility out of our hands
Just work for their party and cheer for their bands
Red banners angry lawyers keep checking on their bobs and tanners
Same old dances and five year plans
Will never bridge the gap between stars and fans
What's unsaid is left unsaid as the bosses
Lure the popstars into their beds
Allowed to indulge in their political bread
There's too many people who agree to be led
The pied piper came today
Autograph autograph to lead us away
Out of the town behind the piper
Over the cliff and into the river
 
i hear that bombs were going down
in London town
and i'm sorry to you all who lost something
sad how the people never seem to win
and now finally the deed's been done
and we know now what's to come
retina scan, protest ban
but 9/11 and now 07/07 goes to show
you reap what you sow
now it's all: danger danger - be a stranger
there's now fear in the atmosphere
leads to alienation, accusations
what's to become of our nation?
it'll be like: yes T96423
we ain't gonna leave you be
- see we got wind that you wanna be free
oh no... you reap what you sow

SARAH BEAR
 
if i had another last chance
and we met again for the first time

i would listen to your heart
i would start back at the start
there are things id like to say
so many things id like to change
 
If you believe in forever,
Then life is just a one-night stand.
If there's a rock and roll heaven,
well you know they've got a hell of a band, band,band.
Jimmy gave us rainbows,
And Janis took a piece of our hearts,
And Otis brought us all to the dock of a bay.
Sing a song to light my fire,
Remember Jim that way,
They've all found another place, another place to play.
Chorus
Remember bad bad Leroy Brown,
Hey Jimmy touched us with that song.
Time won't change a friend we came to know.
And Bobby gave us Mack the Knife,
Well look out, he's back in town.
They'll all be there together
When they meet in one big show.
Chorus
There's a spotlight waiting
No matter who you are
Cuz everybody's got a song to sing,
Everyone's a star
Everybody's got to be a star
 
To the east to the west
To the north and south
To the east to the west
One love people never gonna stop
To the east to the west
To the north and south
To the east to the west
One love people never gonna stop
One to creation, one to the sun
One to the morning, one to the one
One to the air and the freshness we breathe in
One to the force of the change in the seasons
One to the mother from which all things come
One to the daughters and one to the sons
One to the father who helps us believe that
Nothings ever gonna harm you see and
One to the soldier who walks city streets and
One to the soldier who fights overseas and
One to the man who gets down on his knees and
Prays for God and send protection please and
To the east to the west
To the north and south
To the east to the west
One love people never gonna stop
To the east to the west
To the north and south
To the east to the west
One love people never gonna stop
One to the woman, one to the man
One to the culture from the time when it began
One to destruction, one to birth
One to the people who still fight for the earth
One to the people who suffer for their needs and
One to the rebels who rockin to the beats and
One to the healer who fights our disease and
One to the Lorax who speaks for the trees
Cause no amount of money and no amount of man
Can bring back to life whats gone when it's done and
One to the people who rise with the sun and
One to the people who sleep when it's dawn cause
To the east to the west
To the north and south
To the east to the west
One love people never gonna stop
To the east to the west
To the north and south
To the east to the west
One love people never gonna stop
This whole thing seems upside down
Whole wide world keeps turning around
This whole thing seems upside down
Whole wide world keeps turning around

Life is too short to make just one decision
Music is too large for just one station
Love is too big for just one nation and
God is too big for just one religion
One to the practice of being in the flow and
One to the tears of the things we let go and
One to the moment we live in right now and
One to the east west north and south
To the east to the west
To the north and south
To the east to the west
One love people never gonna stop
This whole things seems upside down
Whole wide world keeps turning around
This whole thing seems upside down
Whole wide world keeps turning around

I got two armfuls of magazines for you

so hang your holiday rainbow lights in the garden
hang your holiday rainbow lights in the garden and I’ll
I’ll bring a nice icy drink to you

Let me come over I can waste your time I’m bored
Invite me to the war every night of the summer
and we’ll play G.I. blood, G.I. blood
we’ll stand by the pool

Darlin can you tie my string
killers are callin on me
my angel face is fallin
feathers are fallin on my feet
Darlin can you tie my string
killers are callin on me

Stay near your, stay near your television
Set it up outside
and hang your holiday rainbow lights in the garden
hang your holiday rainbow lights in the garden and I’ll
I’ll bring a nice icy drink to you

Let me come over I can waste your time I’m bored
Invite me to the war every night of the summer
and we’ll play G.I. blood, G.I. blood
we’ll stand by the pool
we’ll through out our golden arms

Darlin can you tie my string
killers are callin on me
my angel face is fallin
feathers are fallin on my feet
my angel face is fallin
feathers are fallin on my feet
Darlin can you tie my string
killers are callin on me
Darlin can you tie my string
killers are callin on me
 
Of all the things I believe in
I just want to get it over with
tears form behind my eyes
but I do not cry
Counting the days that pass me by

I've been searching deep down in my soul
Words that I'm hearing are starting to get old
Looks like I'm starting all over again
The last three years were just pretend and I say

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I love
The one thing that I tried to hold on to

I still get lost in your eyes
And it seems like I can't live a day without you
Closing my eyes till you chase my thoughts away
To a place where I am blinded by the light but it's not right

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to

Ohhh yeah
It hurts to want everything & nothing at the same time
I want whats yours and I want whats mine
I want you but I'm not giving in this time

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
The one thing that I tried to hold on to

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that I tried to hold on to
 
Yankee soldier
He wanna shoot some skag
He met it in Cambodia
But now he can't afford a bag

Yankee dollar talk
To the dictators of the world
In fact it's giving orders
An' they can't afford to miss a word

I'm so bored with the U...S...A...
But what can I do?

Yankee detectives
Are always on the TV
'Cos killers in America
Work seven days a week

Never mind the stars and stripes
Let's print the Watergate Tapes
I'll salute the New Wave
And I hope nobody escapes

I'm so bored with the U...S...A...
But what can I do?

Move up Starsky
For the C.I.A.
Suck on Kojak
For the USA
 
I have been travelling down this river, so many rocks pop up in my sight.
I've got to make some quick decisions, should I go left or should I go right.
I pray for guidance and protection, it keeps my boat water tight.
But, I know if I just keep on believing, every little thing is gonna be alright.

When I wake up in the morning, I hope I see you in the light.
When I wake up in the morning, I hope I see you in the light.

And loveliness,
And tenderness,
And happiness,
And openness,
And togetherness,
And loveliness, yeah, yeah.

The vampires gather around me, angling to take a bite.
They want to drink my blood of courage, and try to take away my fight.
But no, no, no, they can't do that, no, for one truth I've learned in life.
You want to scare away the vampires, you simply guide them into the light.

When I wake up in the morning, I hope I see you in the light.
When I wake up in the morning, I hope I see you in the light yeah.

In the morn, in the morning.
In the morn, in the morning.
In the morn, in the morning.
In the morning.

And when my time is done, I did some right, I did some wrong.
Call my name to kingdom come, spread my wings in flight.
I hope that when my day is over, my love I see you in the light yeah.

When I wake up in the morning, I hope I see you in the light.
When I wake up in the morning, I hope, I hope, I hope I see you.

In the morn, in the morning.
In the morn, in the morning.
In the morn, in the morning.
In the morn, in the morning.

And loveliness,
And tenderness,
And happiness,
And openness,
And togetherness,
And hopefulness,
And happiness, yeah, yeah.
 
...

Oh, the alcoholic afternoons
When we sat in your room
They meant more to me
Than any, than any living thing on earth
They had more worth
Than any living thing on earth
On earth, on earth, oh ...
 
shut off the t.v. and peel off those sunday gloves,
and i'll stain the clean that you've been counting,
old mr. fletcher passed by here today,
after 40 years of toil he just upped and walked away,
fantastic the panic that showed in his eyes,
he shrugged when i asked him about it,
he said "young man pay heed, you listen well to what i say,
now there comes a time for a man to walk away",
walk away, i'll be a parade,
and i'll be determined that no one shall dissuade
on my way, i'll sure take some time
to burn all the bridges that i'm leaving behind,
he passed by again and he was shivering from the cold,
i'm not sure but i think that he was trying,
he told me about the weather and something old to pay,
"but tomorrow", he said, "i'm gonna surely walk away"
